Do I still need my physical Wildcard?
No. Once you have activated the mobile credential on your device, your plastic Wildcard will no longer work on readers across campus.
Can I still use my physical Wildcard once I have created my Mobile ID?
No. Once you have activated the mobile credential on your device, your plastic Wildcard will no longer work on readers across campus. Users can have either a mobile credential or a plastic Wildcard, but not both.
Remember, the Mobile ID is a privilege and benefit of being part of the Weber State University community. Anyone found to be misusing their physical card or Mobile ID will be subject to the applicable Code of Conduct or HR policies regarding fraud and/or misconduct.
I Don't See the "Add to Wallet" Button
- Make sure that you have DUO installed on your phone. It may take an hour or so for the data from DUO to run to Transact.
- Make sure you have Wallet installed.
- If you have an older phone, it may not be NFC compatible so the credential cannot be added to the wallet. You will want to get a physical Wildcard.
- Make sure your picture has been approved.
- You must be registered for classes to install a Wildcard on your phone.
Using Mobile ID on iPhone
The iPhone or Apple Watch must be powered on, but it does not have to be connected to a network.
On an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, double-clicking the Home button, tapping the default payment card and selecting the mobile Wildcard are needed to enable usage. Then, authenticating with Touch ID and holding the top of iPhone 6 or 6 Plus near the contactless reader will complete a transaction.
For iPhones 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and later, Express Mode allows use of the mobile Wildcard without unlocking the device with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Through iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, Express Mode with power reserve makes the mobile Wildcard available for up to five hours after the device’s battery needs to be charged.
